Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Power lock driver side will NOT stay locked when I press the lock button!
I just changed the driver side power window regulator w/ motor and thought everything was working, but then noticed this strange behavior with the door lock button.
Oddly though, if I press the lock button from the key fob, the driver side will stay locked.
What makes it even stranger is sometimes when I press the lock button from the door, it will chime or ding, almost like the sound when you forget to put your seat belt on. But usually if I press it again, it will lock, but of course it still always automatically unlocks itself. All the other doors are working fine.
Also, if I move the lock manually on the door, it will stay locked.
So it only seems to be when I use the lock button on the door that it keeps unlocking itself. The chime noise seems to only happen when I press the lock key from the door, though it has chimed sometimes from the key fob, but if I press it again, it will usually lock. This chiming sound really baffles me, I have no idea what or why it does this almost randomly when I press the lock button, even sometimes from the key fob.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I suspect your problem is in the circuit that senses the key is fully inserted in the ignition.
I also recall if the door button is pressed to lock, there are dings to remind driver their key is in the ignition.
